Dominik Mikulaschek: Night Shift, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Night Shift: That Night, the System Writes Your Crime is a dark, fast-paced psychological thriller about surveillance, manipulation, identity, and a system that can manufacture guilt before the truth has a chance to speak. If you enjoy a tense suspense thriller with a claustrophobic atmosphere, high-stakes mind games, and a strong female lead, this book delivers a gripping reading experience from the very first pages.

At the center of the story is Mara Stein-or at least that is the name she must use for this assignment. Instead of receiving a normal job, she is handed a new identity, a nursing uniform, and a security badge for the Aster Tower, a luxurious glass high-rise where every movement is tracked, every entry is logged, and every conversation can become evidence. Her role seems simple: work the night shift as a private nurse and monitor Dylan Roe, a young patient recovering from a severe brain injury, officially described as confused, disoriented, and dangerous at night.

But almost immediately, Mara realizes that nothing inside the tower is normal.

The elevators record every ride. Doors open only with badge and PIN. Medical notes must be entered into a digital system. Every medication, every observation, every interaction is time-stamped and preserved. Everything is measured. Everything is documented. Everything can be used. What should be a secure environment becomes a trap-a perfect setting for a psychological suspense novel where technology does not protect people, but controls them.

As Mara settles into her shift, strange details begin to surface: a disturbing knocking pattern, a patient who seems to know things he should not know, and system-generated entries that feel less like documentation and more like messages. The deeper she goes into the routines of the tower, the more she senses that she is not simply caring for a patient-she is walking into a prewritten script. Someone is watching. Someone is guiding events. And somehow, all the clues begin to point toward her.

What starts as a tense night-shift thriller turns into a chilling battle over truth, memory, and survival. Mara must figure out whether she is a nurse, a witness, a pawn-or the carefully selected suspect in a crime designed to look inevitable. The result is an atmospheric conspiracy thriller that combines the emotional intensity of a psychological thriller with the precision of a surveillance thriller and the mystery of a locked-system setup.

This book is perfect for readers who love:

dark, immersive atmosphere

intelligent suspense and psychological tension

modern themes like data control, monitoring, and digital evidence

strong female protagonists under extreme pressure

twist-driven thrillers with paranoia and uncertainty

Night Shift is ideal for fans of psychological thrillers, mystery thrillers, conspiracy suspense, techno-thrillers, and dark crime fiction with a unique setting. The Aster Tower itself becomes a character: elegant, silent, efficient-and terrifying. Every rule feels logical. Every protocol looks harmless. Until the system starts writing the story for you.
